We actually liked the fact that the grandfather was a grump and then changed at the end - a beautifully redeemed character. Have you ever read any other DeJong&#39;s books?

We also loved Shadrach, The Wheel on the School, Along Came the Dog, and Hurry Home Candy. Alinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485948702089280528noreply@blogger.com
